A Better Day

The last week has been one full of bad news.  I almost felt like there couldn't be one more person in my life with tragedy or drama.  I began to really hope that the next day would be better than the last.  I know that this life is not what God intended for us.  It was all supposed to be better than this, but unfortunately sin messed that up.  Thankfully there is hope for a better day in Jesus.

Saturday was spent at the funeral of a college friend.  Brad was also the brother of my dear friend Ann.  I just can not imagine the hurt she is feeling.  She is one of the strongest Christians I know and I'm sure her faith will get her through.  Still...

Thankfully Brad knew Jesus and shared Him with all he encountered.  So there is hope for a better day when we can be reunited in Heaven.  

It was somewhat nice to see other college friends who we haven't seen in ages.  I just wish it was under better circumstances.  It reminded me too that while we are still very young it has been 10 years since I graduated from College!  It was like being at one of our college devotionals only there was more grey hair this time. :)  The funeral was in Tuscaloosa and only Brad or the Iron Bowl could have brought that many Auburn fans to the city.

Another sad thing from last week was the diagnosis that my cousins little boy has Leukemia.  Anderson is only 16 months old and just a month ago was perfectly fine.  He has now been in the hospital a week.  Thankfully he is responding well to chemo and we pray that there are no side effects what so ever.  He will have to undergo treatments for the next 3 years.  Please pray for Jan, Andy, Avery and especially Anderson.  You can follow his progress on their webpage. 

Waiting for a better day...
